Site Screening

Triage every inbound site into a decision

Brokers, landowners and partners send more sites than your team can check. Build screens each one against fourteen objectives, from grid and fibre to flood and land assembly, so you can call it: pursue, dig deeper or pass.

The problem

Too many deals, not enough time.

Inbound sites arrive faster than your team can check them properly. Strong sites go cold in the queue, and the risks that sink a site get found after the money is spent.

Missed opportunities

Strong sites sit in the queue until someone else moves first.

Missed risk factors

Rushed checks skip the grid, flood or land issue that decides the site.

Late surprises

Fatal flaws surface deep into diligence, after the spend is committed.

The outcome

Every inbound site, screened the same way

Add the site boundary as it comes in. Build agents research fourteen objectives against geospatial layers and any documents you have, check every finding against its source, and deliver a cited deck.

Screen, compare, decide

Turn the inbound queue into a ranked list, with a clear next step for every site.

  1. Screen as sites arrive

    Add a boundary and run. Geospatial layers for the region come with it.

  2. Compare like for like

    The same fourteen objectives in the same order on every deck.

  3. Decide and move on

    Pursue it, dig deeper with Buildable Area or Desktop Due Diligence, or pass.

The business case

Catch the bad deals early, and screening pays for the year.

Every site you entertain costs something: analyst hours, consultant quotes, option payments, months of schedule. Screening every inbound deal catches the flaws first, so your capital and your team go to the sites that can be built.

Stop spending internal time on triage

Every inbound site gets screened without pulling your team off live deals.

10x the pipeline, same team

One repeatable screen across every site, with no extra headcount or consultants.

Defend your decisions

Cited findings on every objective show why a site went forward or was passed.

Questions

What does a site screening check?

Fourteen objectives in seven groups: power and grid, planning, site engineering, connectivity, environmental and community sensitivity, natural hazards, and land ownership. Every objective appears in every deck, in the same order, so you can compare one site's screening with another's.

Does the screening give the site a single grade?

No. Each objective gets its own status. Met means the item does not pose a risk in the short to medium term. Partial means it may raise a risk and needs further research or mitigation. Not met means it poses a risk and is a potential fatal flaw. A site does not reduce to one letter, so the deck does not print one.

What happens when there is no data for an objective?

The objective still appears in the matrix, marked partial, with a note on what would settle it and who would confirm it. A missing screen is never shown as a clear result.

Can I add my own site documents?

Yes. Upload surveys, ground investigations, connection offers, planning papers or title documents to the project's data room. Build researches the same fourteen objectives against them and merges the results with the geospatial findings, stating both where they conflict.

Is there a version reviewed by a person?

Yes. Site Screening (Expert Review) runs the same screening, and a Build expert then reviews the deck before it reaches you. Ask your Build contact if it is not enabled for your organisation.

What should I run after a screening?

For a site that passes, Buildable Area works out net developable acreage using the screening's findings as constraints, and Desktop Due Diligence goes deeper on a single site.
